CHALLENGE: CEMETERY/GRAVE

Dovie spent her lunch hours in the cemetery every day since her fiancee committed suicide.  Dovie hoped she would find out why William would kill himself a few weeks before their wedding.

The cemetery didn't tell her much, but she did befriend the caretaker of the cemetery.

It is about family and love.

Tonight's networking event consisted of pot decorating and succulent planting, and I mod podged the pages of the Love, Alice galley on it. I think it came out pretty nicely! Anyone else use galley (or book 😳) pages in their crafts?!

Alfoster OMG--this is so cool😍😍😍!!! 8y
Kaylamburson Thanks so much, @Alfoster!! Super easy too! 8y
Alfoster Never would have thought of that (and I'm a huge fan of that technique as I'm old and did a ton of decoupage in my day)! 😍 8y
Kaylamburson Haha, well now you will have to find some things to decoupage in book pages! @Alfoster 8y

My fiancé committed suicide just before our wedding, and I was trying to figure how I hadn‘t seen it coming, what I had or hadn‘t done. And here was this woman, leaving a letter to a dead girl . I thought if I read it I might gain some kind of insight. Instead, I found myself obsessed. I had to know Alice‘s story. .. Dovie Larkin clung to Dora- a mother who made a mistake that wrecked her daughter, and came half way across the world too late.

In a very short time, I have come to realize that a mother will do almost anything—lie, cheat, even steal—for the sake of her child.

She has found no mercy at home, and she‘ll find none here, so what good are her tears? She won‘t cry again.
